The highlight focuses on prospects, hopes and impediments in the future especially where English language has not been in healthy rivalry with Indigenous languages. In away then, the book erases the erroneous or cancerous impressions in the labor market where English language is tied to slavery or colonial mentality also oppose to discard English as a colonial product because the 21st century has continued to rely on the relevance of English language with gender inequality and violence which ought not to be. On a platform, it examines roles education, literature and individuals performed in the national polity. It also espouses Charles Okwelume's Cultural Dynamics and M. J. C.
